Tracy Morgan’s Family Reveals the Nature of Comedian’s Injuries

*Comedian and actor Tracy Morgan – as of this posting – was still listed as in critical condition after being in a New Jersey turnpike accident that killed his longtime friend and writing partner James (Uncle Jimmy Mack) McNair, 63, of Peekskill, New York and injured two other people.

As we reported the incident happened early Saturday morning around 1am as Morgan and the others were returning to New York City after performing at the Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Delaware.

Also we reported that Wal-Mart driver Kevin Roper, 35, of Georgia, was charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto after he crashed into Morgan’s 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter limo-bus, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office. Police told ABC News that Roper was dozing moments before the chain-reaction collision.

As you can imagine, Morgan’s relatives were shocked and distressed that the usually boisterous actor, who was born in the Bronx and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, was lying unconscious in a New Jersey hospital.

“I’m traumatized,” she continued. “I’m so upset. I can’t believe it. It’s like I’m in a nightmare.”

Here’s what else the Daily News is reporting on the comedian and his family:

The mother of three of Morgan’s children said the comedian had a broken leg among other injuries — but doctors anticipated he would recover.

“I don’t know,” she said, dubious of the doctors’ reassurances. “We’re just still vigilant with prayer.”

She added that the couple’s three adult sons were deeply upset by the news of their critically injured father.

“They’re not holding up well at all,” she said.

Sabina Morgan said her old high school sweetheart would be devastated to know one of his closest friends, McNair, had died.

“He was one of the first comedians that took Tracy under his wing,” she said of the elder comedian. “They were very close.”

McNair’s sister, Valerie Daniel, told CNN that her brother, “spoke very highly of Tracy. They go way back.”

The mother of Morgan’s fiancée, Megan Wollover, said she was in anguish.

“I was devastated,” Christine Wollover told The News when she heard the report about her future son-in-law.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she continued.

“I was just hoping and praying that my daughter and the baby weren’t in the car.”

Wollover said her 27-year-old daughter, a model, and the couple’s 11-month-old baby, Maven Sonae, usually travel with the comedian on tours — but luckily, not this time.

“I’m relieved for her and my granddaughter,” she said. “But (Morgan) is the foundation. I love him dearly, and I just hope he gets through this.”

Meanwhile, in a statement, Wal-Mart CEO Bill Simon expressed sorrow over the accident.

“This is a tragedy and we are profoundly sorry that one of our trucks was involved,” Simon said. “The facts are continuing to unfold. If it’s determined that our truck caused the accident, Wal-Mart will take full responsibility.”

Healing Prayer of Command
Precious Lord Jesus, you came into the world to heal our infirmities and endure our sufferings. You went about healing all who were sick and bringing comfort to those in pain. By a simple command you rebuked Peter’s mother-in-law’s fever. You spoke directly to the illness, condemned it for its actions and commanded it to leave her body.

In the same way, Lord, you have called all of your disciples to follow your example. You have given us power over all the works of the enemy and sent us forth to make disciples of all nations. In the healing tradition of the church, and through my obedience to your written Word, I hereby take authority over all forms of sickness and disease that have been attacking my body.

In the name of Jesus, under the power and authority of the Lord God Almighty, I command all forms of demonic illness to leave my body now and go straight to the feet of Jesus Christ. Your assignment and influences are over. I rebuke all pain in the name of Jesus, and I command it to get out of my body right now. I rebuke all spirits of infirmity, nerve disorder, lung disorder, brain disorder, heart disease, AIDS, cancer, hypochondria, fatigue, anorexia, leukemia, arthritis, tumors, abnormal growths, diabetes and all other forms of sickness to leave my body now in the name of Jesus.

Lord Jesus, I thank you for your healing power. I ask you to send forth your ministering, medical and surgical angels, to repair and restore any damage that was caused in my body by the presence of sin, sickness or demonically influenced infirmities. I ask that you send forth your Holy Spirit and fill me with your love, light, peace and joy. Come Holy Spirit and transform me into the child of God that you intended me to be

XOXO

I pray for everyone that was involved in the accident. For those injuried I pray that the hand of Jesus touch and heal each and everyone of them. For the young man whose lost his life I pray that the comfort of the Holy Spirit rest upon his family, relatives and friends. I pray that God have mercy on the truck driver soul.

this is the first report I’ve read that talks about the other people that were injured. Thank you! I know Tracy was hurt, but its important to discuss the others as well. Praying for everybody involved. Including the driver!

Lord I ask you take your hands and lay them on Tracy Morgan and the others that were involved. I ask that you lay your hands on their families. Heal them lord so that they may return to their lives as a family. I pray and I say in the name of Jesus that you and your family will be healed and taken care of. Amen

Lord I also ask that you lay hands upon all others that were involved in this horrible tragedy… May you grant them with full health and Strength so that they may be able to move forward… R.I.p. Mr. McNair

Still pulling AND praying for TM to make it through this!! But I just have to say?, a “relative”?, is someone who CAN’T be an…”ex” ANYthang!!!!! The blood will “ALways” flow between the two. So friends & ex “wives”?, are simply not…..relatives. They may be “associated” with somebody?, but not “related” TO that somebody. And even if they had said “next of kin”?, that would be his family members & his CURRENT wife, (by “law” while being married!!) not his …ex! Their “kids”?, yes!!, but this ex?….(when there’s a “current” wife!??) “Sam Jackson” says….”oh HAYiiiiiiiiiil naaaaaaaaw”! Chuuuuuch!

Ps…now her being included in the “family” incident, due to the children the have together?, is good, great etc…, but that STILL doesn’t make her….”related”, & quite frankly?, “she” shouldn’t be the “spokesperson” at all!!, & she didn’t “say much”, aaaaanyway!! Proving to me?, she “ain’t” in the…”in crowd”. I’m just sayin. SMH!

Lord, I ask in the healing name of Jesus, that you surround All that are involved and injured in this accident. I ask Lord for legions of angels armed with healing mercies and grace to stand watch over them. Allow them to fill the Holy Spirit powers as they are being lifted up to you. I speak words of wholeness, healing and peace for everyone related and connected to those that are injured.Strenghten the families that are involved as they stand in prayer unto you. Amen!

My pray goes out to uncle jimmie family. And the Morgan family and who else was in the car my pray goes out to you and your family may god be with everybodies family and may everything be o.k. for the families.

I too, pray that God’s will be done in the lives of all involved. I pray for “uncle Jimmy’s” family and friends and am saddened that they have lost their loved one. I also pray for Tracy Morgan that God will be with him in whatever the outcome will be. I pray that he is healed but I also know that it is not my will, but THY Will be done! I pray for Mr Morgans family whether it is ex wife, fiancé, children, future in laws and friends. They all make up his family and am sure they all love him dearly. May God bless them all.

My prayers and condolences goes out to the family of Jimmy ” Mack”, the brother who lost his life in the accident. My prayers are also sent to the family of Mr. Morgan and I wish him a full recovery. It’s interesting that the media sought out his ex-wife for her reaction and comments. Wonder why no one is interested in what his ex-girlfriend, Tanisha Hall, has to say…..But then it may only be one word…”Karma”

Praying for a speedy recovery for all those injured in this horrific accident and also for their families waiting by their sides. Deep condolences to the family of Mr. McNair and pray they are comforted by their wonderful memories. I am also praying for the driver who hit the bus. We don’t know all the details yet but I don’t believe that man intended to cause this mayhem. May the courts look kindly upon him if his driving record does not show consistent recklessness. Just very sad all around.

All the blessing to the families and ftiends of the nice mens in the accident that was hurt or kill. God will see u through. Tracy we are praying for u to recover soon, and back on your feet once again. One love.
